Chapter 2: Master, I Will Broaden Your Horizons! (2/2)

“Brat, this great wolf is not something that you are qualified to ride,” the wolf said fluently.

“Wah, it’s a demonic beast that can speak!” Xiang Shaoyun shouted in amazement. Bending down, he then said, “However, it’s not like I’ve never ridden trash like you before. In fact, I’ve even mounted kings of demonic beasts before!”

“Tsk, I really want to swallow this brat in one bite,” the wolf angrily complained.

The wolf was a mighty demonic beast, yet he had been called trash by this young boy. What’s even more infuriating was that this brat was even bragging that he had ridden the kings of demonic beasts before; that was unforgivable.

Shooting a glance at Xiang Shaoyun, Zi Changhe had a complicated expression in his eyes as he thought to himself, Does this brat really have some amazing background?

The area occupied by Martial Hall Palace was extremely vast, as if it were a small village inside the town. Inside, there was a large open s.p.a.ce—the outer disciples’ cultivation area. A little further inside, there were various large trees planted closely together, forming a small forest from which roars of demonic beasts would occasionally sound. Within the forest were also numerous old halls, some of which had mist coming out from them, carving out an extremely imposing image.

After they arrived at an open area, one would be able to see a stone tablet. There, Zi Changhe flung Xiang Shaoyun toward the stone tablet.

Peng!

“Aiyoh, are you trying to kill this young master?” Xiang Shaoyun pitifully cried out. He shouted like he was a pig being slaughtered, creating a ruckus that attracted the attention of numerous outer disciples who were cultivating in the area, causing each and every one of them to turn in the direction of the commotion.

“Eh, isn’t that the Purple Lightning Marquis? I’m finally able to see my idol!”

“It really is the nineteenth elder! Look at what he’s straddling, a giant demonic wolf! Such an amazing demonic beast!”

“The Purple Lightning Marquis is well known along with his trademark spear. Together, they’ve terrorized the demonic beasts of the Hundred Beast Mountain to the point where the beasts do not dare to come close to Wu Village. How I wish I could be as strong as him one day!”

”Wait, the scream came from that boy that the Purple Lightning Marquis brought right? Who is he?”

“They're right in front of the Evaluation Stele, could it be that the nineteenth elder is taking in a disciple?”

The outer court disciples were all simultaneously talking about what was happening right in front of them.

“This is the Evaluation Stele. It can test not only your strength, but also the innate talent you have. Give it a shot,” Zi Changhe spoke as he crossed his arms, looking down at Xiang Shaoyun on the floor. He wanted to see just how heaven-defyingly amazing this boastful brat was.

”Okay, then I will allow master to broaden your horizons!” Xiang Shaoyun said full of confidence as he climbed up from the floor. He then closed his eyes, entering a state of tranquility. He stood there unmoving, as if it was the prelude to an expert about to unleash his signature move.

Close to a thousand disciples were holding their breath, eyes glued to the youth in front of them. They were all curious as to how amazing the Purple Lightning Marquis's personal disciple was. After a period of time, Xiang Shaoyun opened his eyes, thrusting one of his fists into the Evaluation Stele.

Peng!

The Evaluation Stele had a reaction to Xiang Shaoyun's punch, rippling a greyish color, following which three thin lines barely condensed in front of everybody. The crowd was stunned.

”Am…am I going blind? He…he's only in the third stage of the Basic Realm!”

”You're not. I also saw only three lines, and they're grey! He really is in the third stage of the Basic Realm!”

”Is…is he really the Purple Lightning Marquis's personal disciple? I can beat him to a pulp with one hand.”

”Is there still justice in this world? Even this piece of trash can become the personal disciple of the nineteenth elder, unbelievable!”

”He’s not the illegitimate child of the nineteenth elder, is he?”
